Skin Lightening Secrets for Hyperpigmentation

Some don’t even know it. There are skin lightening products to help get rid of your hyperpigmentation, melasma, freckles, uneven skin tone, dark skin discolorations, acne scars, dark underarms, elbows, knees or inner thighs. But a safety issue is raised over the availability of harmful skin lighteners or whiteners in the market.

Knowing what to choose and how to use will help you achieve the fair skin tone from products that actually deliver.

Success in skin lightening of dark skin pigmentations does not rely on products alone. In addition to the skin whiteners, a good regimen should also include sunscreen, Vitamin C and moisturizers.

A good sunscreen should have a high Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 50 or better to prevent further darkening or sun damage. You should know that the powerful sun radiates both UVA and UVB rays that a good sunscreen should block. UVA rays are capable of aging and wrinkling of the skin, while UVB is the culprit for sunburn and probable skin cancer. If you should look for the ingredients in a sunscreen, choose the ones with Avobenzone, Zinc Oxide, PArsol 1789 or Mexoryl-SX. Wear sunscreen at all times whenever outdoors, whether you’re in a skin lightening regimen or not.

500mg of Vitamin C supplement can decrease the production of melanin (brown pigments responsible for skin tanning). Ever wonder why glutathione (whitening) pills are taken with Vitamin C? It’s the ascorbic acid that does most of the job actually, so you’d be better off taking these supplements while using skin lightening products for best results.

Your favorite moisturizers will keep your skin hydrated during the skin whitening process. Remember skin lighteners have a mild drying effect (that’s why in some cases, acne is controlled while lightening the acne scars) necessary to prepare the skin for exfoliation and peeling off the dull and unwanted dark skin patches. You should apply your face cream or body lotions 15-20 minutes after using the skin lightening products.

Suggested time to apply skin lighteners is at bedtime, then use sunscreen at daytime.

Follow these simple secrets and you’ll be on your way to better self esteem, even skin tone and a rosy whiter skin!

Are There Skin Lightening Products That Work And Aren’t Dangerous?

Skin lightening products are huge business. But sadly, just about all skin whitening creams are dangerous to use. Can you find a skin lightening cream that isn’t dangerous?

Why in the world would skin bleaching products be dangerous? Because they use 2 suspect ingredients that the FDA has declared as unsafe. In fact the FDA says that “over-the-counter (OTC) skin bleaching drug products are not generally recognized as safe and effective”.

The use of skin lightening creams is linked to skin cancer and skin diseases and also premature aging. You really have to want to lighten your skin to use one. They are banned in the UK and in Europe, though there is still a thriving black market.

So is it possible to undertake skin lightening safely and effectively, or should you just give up on the idea? Well don’t give up yet.

Currently the ingredients used in the products are highly toxic, but new products are coming onto the market that don’t use toxic ingredients. One in particular uses known safe natural ingredients and is shown to work with no skin dangers or health dangers.

This known safe and effective ingredient is nutgrass. It’s a plant, a sedge actually, and it has been found to be an effective skin anti irritant. But although it was studied for that reason it has also been found to work at skin lightening.

Why would nutgrass lighten the skin? Because it reduces the amount of melanin in the skin, and melanin is responsible for skin color. More melanin and the skin is blacker. Less melanin and the skin is lighter.

And it works well. Studies show visible results in as little as a few weeks.

And it’s not just skin bleaching that you get. The small niche company that makes this product also make a top shelf skin care line and so they put their anti aging ingredients into their skin bleaching product as well, so you get the best of both worlds.

So yes you don’t need to put your health at risk using a skin lightening cream. There are solutions, you don’t need to buy on the black market. And your skin will get healthier along the way.

Skin Whitening Treatments

Why would someone wish to be fairer? I know most people will ask that when they hear about the various skin whitening treatments available in the market. Well, for most Asians, especially Filipinos, having fair skin will make them more attractive. So, to be able to have the results that they wanted, they use skin lightening products. I happen to have the typical Asian skin. I have brown skin, which I really like…most of the time. But honestly, I hated my color when I can’t wear anything I want because it won’t compliment my skin. Here are some Frequently Asked Questions:

What are the bleaching products available in the market?
There are several products you can use for your skin. These products can be in soap, cream, or lotion forms. There are topical solutions and some are taken orally or intravenously.

How much these products do cost?
Skin whitening treatments vary in prices depending on their effectiveness. Prices also depend on the popularity of the brand or the dermatologist. Soaps can range from Php 50 ($1) -Php 300 ($6). A personal favorite is Kojie San Kojic Acid soap that sells for Php 80 ($1.40). Oral pills sell for about two thousand pesos ($40) for a bottle of 30 pills and intravenous Glutathione for Php 5,000 ($100) per session. Skin bleaching or skin peeling sessions usually cost 2,000 pesos ($40) each.

Are these products safe?
Most medicines and chemical products are tested by the local drug-testing facility. Just be sure that the products you use do not contain ingredients you are allergic to. It is also safer to stay away from Hydroquinone and Mercury, for these can be harmful. Personally, I have tried using a lotion with Kojic Acid, and I can say that it is safe and effective.

Where can I find these beauty products?
For soaps, creams and lotions, and pills, one can buy them over-the-counter in drugstores. For the intravenous Glutathione and skin peeling, you can go to your trusted dermatology and skin care clinics.

We should always remember that we should choose safe and trusted brands. It is always recommended to consult a doctor before using such things. Remember, be wise in making decisions regarding your skin and body, for you will only suffer if you made wrong choices for the products you are using.
